Psychiatric residents' sexual contact with educators and patients: results of a national survey
Abstract
In a national survey of PGY-4 psychiatric residents, 4.9% of the 548 respondents indicated that they had been sexually involved with psychiatric educators and 0.9% reported that they had been sexually involved with patients. Most residents reported no or minimal instruction in their residency programs about educator-resident and resident-patient sexual contact. The authors compare these results with those from previous surveys of psychologists. They discuss the need for expanding training curricula to include specific education on sexual exploitation.
